Understood but I just got all the weekly ads this morning so I just went ahead and added all of them to this post too instead of just having K-mart.

[Ender]

pretty good deal on the NDS, you get a free Nintendogs.

If nothing else, you could return it to Wal-Mart or something or trade it for a game you actually want.

ok, cool. Thanks for the post then.

[nogard]

The DS deal is pretty good if I didn't already own one.

[The Successful Dropout]

that DS deal is very tempting...i'm definitely picking up Wild Arms 4 tho

thanks op

[Masterkyo]

CC Deal this week is ROCK

$29.99 or $20 after BB $10 off coupon ;)

Wild Arms 4 PS2
Resident Evil 4 PS2

[Tyga24]

Nothing this week for me but thanks for the post OP.

i was totally thinking this and I wish bestbuy would re-up on thier copies of animal crossing it's a wild world so I can get that 4 cheap finally!

[trunks982]

The Guild: Gold Edition

is that guild wars?


EDIT: ok nevermind, its some shitty game

[Doylerulez]

Hmmm, I have 4 DS games and still no DS, that CC deal looks nice.

Thanks for the heads up OP.

[DomLando]

Will Circuit City take the best buy $10 off coupon. Or do you have to go to best buy price match and then use the coupon there? Becasue I really want Wild arms 4 for 19.99

[Shmitty]

it's YMMV on getting CC to honor the coupon, from my experience. they honored it once and denied me another time. it's also YMMV on getting best buy to price match and then use the coupon. all around, it's worth a shot to get a brand new game for 20 bucks, but don't get your hopes up for it.

[swetooth9]

for resident evil 4, is that for the premium one too? or just reg edition?

[cdeener]

You may have to check in-store but from the pic in the ad it is the reg edition.

[1SwtDeception]

Same here. I just use my brother's DS for the moment.

The DS deal sounds nice, but I don't like Nintendogs at all. Also Nintendo doesn't sell just a plain red DS in the market.. only the MK DS one, which I already have the game.

[spiderdog]

RE4 for me 29.99 at CC

[CaoPi]

I like the ads but it would me much easier to see if you made each store bold, different colors for each including systems.

[trunks982]

i never see a premium RE4 in any stores besides GS and EB.

[regisphilbi0]

the ds deal is tempting. still waiting to see about the whole redesign thing, though.

[CaoPi]

BB has some awesome deals. Thanks for the heads-up.

[JohnnyDrama]

thanks for the info, OP

[Kerig]

Same here, trunks. I can't confirm it, but I don't think Best Buy or TRU ever saw any Premium RE4s come in their stores. I checked numerous locations of each on the launch day (just to see what the silly thing looked like, I wouldn't pay $10 more for it), and it was NOWHERE to be found.

I saw it months later at Gamestop, used for about $45.

[n00bie]

He just cut and pasted all the other ads. I know because Masterkyo posted the Target ads, and he had misspelled a few titles, and he calls True Crime "True Crimes" for some reason.

[Kaijufan]

I may have to pick up Mario Kart Double Dash at Target this week.

[Demolition Man]

CC DVD ad (and markdowns) now posted in the DVD section. I'll have the CC game markdowns for this week posted as soon as I finish this yummy roasted chicken sub from Subway. :D

[FaintDeftone]

Yet again, another week with no 360 sales. Nothing but normal prices. GRRR.

That NFL Street 2 for Xbox is looking sort of tempting, but the first one made me break an Xbox controller due to it's cheapness and my frustration. So I might wana pass on that. Might end up making me buy another controller.

[neudog]

All that are looking to get the DS deal at CC make sure to buy the red one. This way you get Nintendogs and Mario Kart.

Madden 2006 (360) is on the front page of the ad for $49.99 at BB. The people who post these ads at other sites never look at the front or back pages.

[meladdin]

Long time lurker here,
On 1/8/06 I just bought my kids a DS and Nintendogs at BB (on the same reciept). Will they Price match the CC ad for the free Nintendogs?

[RolePlayer]

These posts are always helpful. Thanks OP. Just ordered a copy of Wild Arms 4 ....and my collection journey continues....

??? i don't see nfl street in the ads...where?

[slidecage]

went over to CC and they dont even carry Wild arms 4.. they told me to check back weds.. I took down the CS name who said i can use the 10 buck off BB coupon so if they give me any problems . i will say.. I was in here SUNDAY looking for the game you had in your AD and i was told by XXXX i can use the coupon

[seanr1221]

Anyone pick up Madden 06 with 10.00 off coupon?

I'm thinking of doing it in a bit.

[cdeener]

??? i don't see nfl street in the ads...where?

Look under Circuit City it is on sale for $14.99

[Jn64lover]

Just got the DS/nintendogs deal, I'm really excited about it! On the receipt they rang the system as 100 and the game as 29.99, so I'm gonna try to return the game for mario kart or animal crossing

[Ma12kez]

thanks op, might have to check this one out.

[cheapfrag]

Is Brothers in Arms: Earned in Blood a good deal for $19.99 after $10 off PC game BB coupon? Is BiA:EiB a expansion, do I need the original game or is it stand-alone?

I've actually seen 2 or 3 copies of the RE4 PS2 Premium edition at Circuit City but this was when it first came out. I'm pretty sure its gone now.



Now I'm wondering if the free Nintendogs deal would work on the Mario Kart DS bundle??

[oni-link]

hey where do you guys get this $10.00 BB coupon anyways?!!!

[RonnieWrecked]

Now I'm wondering if the free Nintendogs deal would work on the Mario Kart DS bundle??

i was wondering the same thing.

and it looks like i waited long enough to get X-Men Legends II. for $25 i'll pick it up.

oh and thanks OP.

[RonnieWrecked]

the free Nintendogs deal should work w/the Mario Kart bundle cause it works online.

http://www.circuitcity.com/ssm/Nintendo-DS-Game-System-Bundle/sem/rpsm/oid/140108/catOid/-14201/rpem/ccd/productDetail.do

i guess i'll be heading down to Circuit City later today.

edit - i went to CC and they didn't have any DS's. they only had the SP and the micro.

[clueless]

Picked Up Madden 06 for XBOX 360 for 49.99 - $10 coupon at Best Buy = $39.99

walked up with no problems, the cashier just pulled out the pad before even trying to ring up the coupon, and entered the coupon manually :-)

Figure its better to get at $40 so when next years version comes out it wont hurt as bad on the trade in :(

Is anyone else having problems ordering off circuitcity.com? I am trying to order mario kart ds bundle and nintendogs.

[munkyballz]

Was looking at the Mario Kart DS Bundle online too and it says it's not available for shipping nor available for in store pickup...who knows, might be the site is just temporarily in maintenance or something atm?

Looking at it though, for 150, getting a new red DS, Mario Kart, Nintendogs, and I believe a $15 dollar giftcard (not sure about this)...makes it a pretty good deal, awfully tempted...but will probably have to return a shush-load of games from the previous sales to do so...also PS3 is probably only 5 or 6 months away too, hmm decisions decisions...

BTW...I noticed some talk about a revised DS? Any info or confirmation on that? If that is the case, probably would wait until one comes out, hehe, any chance on a DS Micro? Wishful thinking probably...

Yes, they have a $15 (in the form of a gift card) rebate this week if one purchases a DS (original, blue, or mk bundle), or a ps2 (slim). Purchase must be made through circuitcity.com , so, hopefully they will have them available for purchase at some point. Getting a DS, Nintendogs, Mario Kart, and a $15 gc for $150 is a heck of a deal. I can't really afford the expense right now (I already have a DS and ND, but I want MK and another DS for my SO, OK?), but anyone who has been considering a DS should definitely check out this deal (assuming it becomes available for purchase).

Okay, I apologize for sounding like a complete and total newb, but where can I get this $10 off Best Buy coupon? I'm sure it's been asked 10 million times, but I ran a search, and can't seem to find any topics that point to the coupon.

[DomLando]

Well i went to the nearest Circuit City to me and they didnt have Wild Arms 4 out. I asked someone and she said that everything is out and nothing is in the back. So strike one. Then I went to Best Buy which is right across the street. They had it in stock. After waiting on the customer service line for about 20-25 mins the guy would do the price match but said they would not take the coupon since it was a sale item. I kindly explained how they did this before for me but he stated he was a manager and he wont take the coupon. I know for a fact he wasnt a manager he was just being a dick. Strike two. So i drive to a Best Buy the next closest best buy which was only like 10 minutes away. And with no problem at all they price matched the game and took the coupon. She even needed a managers key for the coupon and the manager did it with no problem. So i ended up getting the game for 19.99.

Oops, sorry...didn't notice. XD I tend to ignore the stickies.

and thank you botticus!

[989boi]

Okay I went with a friend today. He picked up a DS, free nintendogs, and animal crossing. The total came out to be $179 after taxes total. After lookin at the receipt, Circuit City taxed him with $16 which is weird.

[CaoPi]

never knew the 360 uses rechargable batteries. What exactly are the batteries used for?

Didn't try that, but you can just go to Best Buy to get store credit for it. That's what I did. Rode my bike from CC to BB and got $32 in store credit (they give you tax, too). I was hoping they'd have a copy of Mario Kart, but I guess I'll have to wait.

[1SwtDeception]

Wow... so MK DS bundle + Nintendogs.. mmmm I really don't like Nintendogs and I only want the red DS. This will sound stupid, but couldn't I return the Mario Kart game.. return the Nintendogs and get money back for both? I know the MK DS game you really can't because it's a bundle right? But just wondering...

The best I could tell you is if you have a retailer that has a good policy about returning things without a receipt then you may be able to get some store credit to buy something else but you would have to try that at your own risk.

[1SwtDeception]

Ahh I see. Also ... is Mario Kart bundle gone? I never see them around. I know none of my Circuit City has them (at least site-wise). I called up most stores (just BB and GS and GC) and they don't seem them anymore =[. I just hear it's a holiday item and it's just gone.

[SteveMcQ]

I seriously doubt you'd be able to return the Mario Kart bundled with it at any retailer. AFAIK, the game doesn't come with a case.

Best Buy is the way to go. Up until the end of January, you can exchange any unopened game for full credit. Be sure to get the games stickered at the front and then just walk over to customer service.

[Saurus]

Was able to get the Premium Edition Resident Evil 4 for $29.99 at Circuit City. (They where out of the regular edition.) Obviously, YMMV.

For real? I always thought BBs would be arses about returning stuff with no receipt...hmm, I suppose it's a YMMV thing, as the BB closest to me seem to be kind of arrogant about those things, so haven't tried it...
